Now, if it were limited to browsers, or even to desktop computers... "Security by default" affects, by default, also trusted workloads. Games, desktop editing software, word processors, spreadsheets running dumb totals in big tables, and virtualized computing workloads running in the cloud (where it has a serious financial impact for whoever pays the cloud bill). All of them pay the Javascript tax. Worse, there doesn't seem to be any solution in sight, we have become too reliant on the damn thing.
